A picture truly is worth a thousand words, and maybe several trillion dollars

Because in addition to ridiculing the preposterousÂ comparison made by Dingy Harry of opponents of Obamacare to proponents of slavery, this cartoon speaks volumes about the imperious Democrats in control of all three branches of our government and the statist direction they seek to take us in.Â Especially so, in light of the attempted slight of hand that would call expansion of the nearly bankrupt programs of medicare and medicaid, as a proxy for a bridge to a single payer government healthcare system, a "compromise" solution, while at the same time quietly assuring your own that it is indeed a "public option".Â And even moreso when you consider the chilling talk about the "command and control economy" spoken of by the haughty EPA director after announcing the institution of regulations that are effectively a back-door to cap-n-trade, with all of the taxes and none of the trade; a sterling example of the executive branch gone wild, governing by fiat, arrogantly bypassing Congressional authority and oversight in flagrante delicto.

I can't say it any moreÂ succinctly than Cap'n Ed:

Our founders wrote the Constitution to limit the power of Congress to avoid precisely this kind of outcome.Â When elected officials tell their serfs subjects constituents that Congress has the power to write any kind of laws they want, it exemplifies the foundersâ€™ most basic fear of centralized, federal governments.Â They knew that serfdom could come through the ballot box, and theyâ€™re about to be proven prescient.

I'll remind all that the debate is raging on, but that the Democrats are hoping that waning public attention during the holiday season will allow them to sneak this abomination of personal liberty, as well as the certain destruction of the best on-demand health care system in the world, through "under the radar".Â So call, write, and/or e-mail your Representative and Senator on a near daily basis reminding them of your desire that they vote "No!" on this legislation; perhaps reminding them that of they do so against your wishes that you will not only vote against them in the next election, but will work tirelessly for their opponents.Â Don't give up now, continue with Operation Waterloo.

  So is that the centerpiece of the Obama strategy? To simply deny people what they have earned through their honest service and loyalty over their career? So what are you all going to tell tell people when their 401K’s are siezed too?
  
  Oh, and for your information and edification, I’m right around 50, probably not much older than you, and still able to take care of bid-ness bwah!

    I’m just talking about you, Bob, and your type of trough piggies.
    
    While you were floating the high seas in a glorified trash can, liberally applying coco-butter suntan oil on those areas than tan too quickly, were you counting the days until you could fully soak the American tax-payer, Bob? Did you imagine the ultimate in soakage was to sit around barking at your betters with a gubmint check on your breath. Those WalMart employees, working for their money types, do you sneer at ‘em knowing that you got yours and to hell with ‘em if they can’t afford health insurance? Makes you feel big, huh? The pay for your loafer’s life, and fuck them for it!
    
    You avenger! You should take to the skies and sky write it out – FUCK YOU AMERICA!
    
    I especially liked when you dosey-doed with RSM after Sen. Ted Kennedy died. He fought like hell all his imprefect life to get funding for Vets, the disabled and the poorer in our society. And a icon of Irish Catholicism was Ted Kennedy, unlike you, who stains the pews with his butt gas, who sits there, only to stand up so as to stick a knife in the back of a fellow man of Catholic faith once his days are passed.
    
    Fuckin’ class. Ochen klossney!
    
    This country would be better off if we could do it the old world way, namely tie you into a canoe and set you out to sea. Hahaha. I’m just kidding. We’ll let you stay and babble-cluck. You’re a reminder of what could all go wrong if we let it. You serve a purpose, ya see.
    
    I’m reading Archbishop Oscar Romero’s biography right now. Very interesting was the crucible of extremes that was El Salvador during those days. Your Jesus, controlling the narrative, the gold coins of corruption, it’s all there.
    
    The Wicked Crucifiers! Romero! Liberation! Viva Romero!
